Right and Upper One Eighth Block

On Commodore's PETSCII character set—the computer's map of text and screen symbols—<code>SHIFT+P</code> entered 🭾; on a modern English keyboard, it types P. This is a text-mode graphics tile: its top and right fills let character cells form a coarse screen picture.

What 🭾 means

SHIFT+P entered the PETSCII tile on Commodore keyboards.

PETSCII was Commodore's character set for text and screen symbols. This tile occupied the key's graphics slot, not the Latin letter used by today's keyboards.

What was this tile used for?

It let text cells act like tiny screen pixels.

🭾 fills the top edge and right edge of a character cell. Early computers arranged such tiles on a grid to sketch pictures with limited graphics hardware; Unicode calls these semi-graphics. Mapping tables trace this exact shape to PETSCII on Commodore PET/VIC-20 and C64/C128 computers; the PET line began in 1977. In 2019, a Unicode proposal grouped this and other home-computer and teletext graphics—block-based pages sent to televisions—into a compatibility set, so old character data could survive conversion.

This is the mirror: its narrow vertical strip is on the left; 🭾 puts that strip on the right.

Questions people ask

Why do block characters look misaligned?

Font fallback is a likely cause. A 2021 Cascadia Code request notes that block tiles may not fit when neighboring glyphs come from different fonts. If 🭾 appears blank, the active font may lack it.
